The sensor sends a signal to the dashboard alert light when pads start to wear thin, keeping rotors in good shape and preventing premature wear from over-worn pads. This proactive warning system helps maintain optimal braking performance and prevents costly rotor replacement due to excessive brake pad wear.

Important: Brake pad wear sensors should always be replaced when installing new brake pads, as they are designed for one-time use only.
